For Producers

The obligation is yours. The data is your suppliers’.

Substrate turns what you sell into what each state asks for: every component, material, weight and volume, gathered from your suppliers and recorded with its source.

How it works

From what you sell to a report you can stand behind.

  1. Set up your company

    Your legal entities, the states you sell into, and where you’re registered.

  2. Build your catalog

    What you sell, and the packaging each item ships in, down to its components.

  3. Request data from suppliers

    Ask the right supplier for each component and track it until it’s answered. No answer yet? Estimate, and record how.

  4. Add your volumes

    How many units ship into each state, counted or estimated. An estimate carries its method, so it can be replaced later.

  5. Close the gaps

    See what’s missing, estimated or unconfirmed, what each gap affects, and how well each figure is sourced.

  6. File, state by state

    Each state’s categories and units, computed from the same record and signed by a person.

What you get

Built for the questions that come after you file.

1

Fewer supplier emails

One request per component, sent to the supplier who makes it and tracked until it’s answered.

2

Gaps you can act on

Missing and unconfirmed data in one list, ranked by what it’s likely to cost.

3

An audit-ready record

Every weight, calculation and assumption, with its source and who confirmed it. Estimates are labeled as estimates.

4

A clear view of what’s changing

State programs, rates, deadlines, comment windows and proposed programs, tracked in one place with sources.

Coverage

What each state requires, read live.

This list comes straight from Substrate’s regulatory library, so it changes the day the library does.
